The Grand Alliance changes Mediterranean hub to Cagliari, Italy  

The Grand Alliance (GA) will further improve its cargo hub services in the Mediterranean. The GA’s transshipment hub will be changed from Gioia Tauro to Cagliari International Container Terminal (CICT), in southern Sardinia, Italy, from mid September 2008. 

Customers using the EU2 and AEX services will benefit from this change, due to a lack of congestion at Cagliari. As a result, schedule reliability will be enhanced, helping us to better meet customers’ needs. 

The Grand Alliance, formed in 1998, is the leading integrated consortium in global container shipping.
